And the magicians were made to fall down prostrate,

saying, “”We believe in the Fosterer of the worlds,

Fosterer of Musa and Harun.””

Firawn said, “”You believe in Him before I permit you? This is certainly a plan you have planned in the city so that you may drive out of it, its people, but you will know,

I will definitely have your hands and your feet cut off from opposite sides, then I will definitely have you crucified all together.””

They said, “”We will anyhow return to our Fosterer,

and you do not take vengeance on us except (for the reason) that we believed in the signs of our Fosterer when they came to us. Our Fosterer! pour out patience on us and take us back (make us die) as Muslims.”” (R 14)

And the leaders of the people of Firawn said, “”Will you leave Musa and his people to cause corruption in the land and to leave you and your gods?”” He said, “”We will have their sons killed and leave their women alive, and we certainly have power over them.””

Musa said to his people, “”Seek the help of Allah and be patient, the earth is certainly Allahs, He makes it to be inherited by whomever He wills from among His servants, and the end is (good) for those who guard (against evil).””

They said, “”We were harmed before you came to us and (even) after you came to us.”” He said, “”It may be that your Fosterer will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land, then see how you act.”” (R 15)

And We indeed seized Firawns people with famine and reduction of fruits that they may be mindful.

So when good befell them, they said, “”This is due to us,”” and when evil befell them, they ascribed it to the ill-luck of Musa and those with him. Beware! their ill-luck is only with Allah, but the majority of them does not know.

And they said, “”Whatever sign you may bring to us, to influence us with its magic, we will not believe in you.””

So We sent on them the flood and the locusts and the lice and the frogs and the blood, signs explaining in detail (the power of Allah), but they considered themselves great and they were a criminal people.

And whenever the penalty befell them they said, “”O Musa! pray for us to your Fosterer by virtue of His agreement with you, if you remove the penalty from us we will definitely believe in you and we will definitely send the children of Israel with you.””

But whenever We removed the penalty from them for a term which they had to reach, then they broke (the promise).

So We inflicted retribution on them and drowned them in the flowing water (of the sea) because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

And We made those people who were considered to be weak, inherit the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We had blessed, and the good word of your Fosterer was fulfilled for the children of Israel because of their patience. And We destroyed that which Firawn and his people had built and that which they had erected. (P 8

And We took the children of Israel across the sea. Then they came across a people who were devoted to their idols. They said, “”O Musa! make for us a god like the gods they have,”” he said, “”You are certainly an ignorant people,

(as for) these, (the idol worship) in which they are (involved) will certainly be destroyed and that which they are doing is false.””
